Big Ideas - Matter and Qualitative Analysis
- The properties of matter can be predicted and analysed qualitatively.
- Substances can be identified based on their distinct properties.
- Qualitative analysis of matter is used in many different fields of endeavour.
Learning Goals for Qualitative Analysis: students will be able to
- use the periodic table
- recognize WHIMIS and HHPS symbols
- do labs safely
- use physical, quantitative and chemical properties to identify substances
- do qualitative tests to identify substances
- describe 3 careers in chemistry
- use atomic mass and atomic number to calculate protons, neutrons and electrons
- explain isotopes and radioisotopes
- explain Bohr's theory
- Draw Bohr-Rutherford and Lewis Dot diagrams
- Identify various gases on the basis of their line spectra
- Identify metals by using flame tests
- name and write the formula for various ionic compounds
- name and write the formula for various covalent compounds
- name and write the formula for various polyatomic compounds
Lecture Summaries
Day 1
Students will be introduced to the course. An overview of the course contents and the course outline will be addressed. Expectations and requirements to be successful will be the focus of today's lecture. We will conduct a review of the common elements and the periodic table. Chemistry puzzles will be completed to help students remember the names of the elements. Various careers in chemistry as well as what chemists do in society will be presented. Two assignments have been handed out. The Greatest Canadian Chemist is due September 16 (September 10 is a lab day in room 148 for this assignment) and Careers in Chemistry is due September 19 (September 13 is a lab day in room 148 for this assignment). Students are reminded to bring their lab books, calculators and writing utensils to class on the daily basis.
*Periodic Table is page one of your lab book.

Day 2 WHMIS and HHPS
Today we finished the element puzzles. We then examined WHMIS and HHPS symbols as well as went over lab rules. Textbook p. 479 was used to complete charts. A brief note was taken and a classroom map was created.
*WHMIS and HHPS symbol sheets are to be placed in the lab book.

Day 3 Properties of Substances
Hand in before the bell: Safety Quiz
Today we examined properties of substances that can be used in identification in qualitative analysis. We will learn about the Physical Properties of Matter. We went over historical models of the atom from Democritus to Rutherford. We practiced using the atomic number and mass number to determine the number of electrons, neutrons and protons in an atom. We practiced using full and short hand Bohr-Rutherford diagrams. We looked at isotopes and radioisotopes. Students are to complete Building Scientific Knowledge for homework and place it in their lab books.

Day 4 - changed for Day 7 due to photo interruptions!
Today students took up Building Scientific Knowledge. Make sure all the corrections have been completed in a different colour. We reviewed matter and its properties both physical and chemical. We classified substances as pure or mixtures. We worked on determining the difference between a chemical and a physical change. We had a demonstration of a chemical change. Students were to complete identifying Chemical and Physical changes for homework.

Day 5
Students reviewed classifying matter as well as physical and chemical properties. Six stations were set up for working with analytical chemistry. Students used their knowledge of properties to complete the activities.

Day 6
Today students worked on their assignment: Great Canadian Chemists in the computer lab 148. Reminder to use APA format when citing.
Day 7
Students reviewed the parts of the periodic table. Students built atoms using the NOVA app on iPad. Calculations of protons, neutrons and electrons had to be mastered to complete the activity. Electrons were seen orbiting the nucleus in three dimensions.
